Otto,
We are happy that you enjoy it, but are you able to automatically manage multiple PRG files and C files also, all in the same project ?
Actually we see VSX as a very good resources editor, but not as a project manager yet (until it is developed and implemented). Also syntax highlighting, intelliSense, source code completion, etc. has to be developed for PRG files (so we also get a good source code editor).
Those features can be implemented, as VSX is ready for them, but we need some time and work to develop them
In the meantime, UEStudio is a superb project manager and source code editor, though it lacks for a good resources editor (but we can use VSX for that)

What is the very minimum to install to try the VSX resource editor?

Rick,
That is what I did:
File
New Project
I selected
Visual C++ ( for the moment, sure we will have soon the option to select FIVEWIN)
Empty Project
That creates in the Solution Explorer
a solution
Header
Resource Files
Source Files
I mark
Resource Files
From the menu I select
Project Add existing Item and select my rec.
Same for prgs.

Otto

Do you mean vs_ideredist.exe? I already tried to run it again without results. It only prompts to uninstall or to repair the current installation. I tried to repair but nothing is changed.Rick Lipkin wrote:Enrico

I noticed a dir called "c:\VS 2008 Shell Redist". It contains a subdir called "Integrated Mode" with vside.enu.exe inside it (plus some docs).
Do I have to run vside.enu.exe?

Yes .. run vside.enu.exe .. that will load .net3 and you may have to run that setup twice.

Ok, it wasn't needed to install twice but now it seems installed. Now, what I have to do to open my old BRW RES files? I tried to open them (Open file) but they seem to open as hex binary files.Rick Lipkin wrote:Enrico

Hello Rick,
I am installing the VS_IDEredist.exe at the moment on a clean system.
On my system I installed the full VS.
